💥BREAKING: Caitlin Clark swaps sneakers for golf spikes — and the sports world can’t stop talking…
BELLEAIR, Fla. — Caitlin Clark is back in action. But this time, it’s not under bright arena lights or in front of screaming WNBA fans — it’s under the Florida sun, with a golf club in her hands. The basketball prodigy who rewrote college history and brought the WNBA to new heights is heading to The Annika Pro-Am on the LPGA Tour next month, and the buzz is electric.
Yes, that Caitlin Clark — the same one who torched defenses with 35-foot daggers and became the face of a movement — is now teeing off alongside legends. “I had an amazing time at The Annika last November,” Clark said. “Playing with Nelly Korda and Annika Sorenstam — two of the best in the game — was something I’ll never forget.”
The event, set for November 12 at Pelican Golf Club, isn’t just another round of golf. It’s a full-circle moment for Clark, whose competitive fire refuses to cool, even as she recovers from an injury-plagued WNBA season. Fans are already buzzing online, with one question echoing across social media: Is Caitlin Clark testing a new frontier — or simply refusing to stay still?
Her connection to the event runs deeper than curiosity. Clark is backed by Gainbridge Insurance, the main sponsor of The Annika, and her presence last year turned the pro-am into a must-see spectacle. Crowds followed her every swing, cheering like it was a playoff game. Cameras rolled. Hashtags trended. It was another reminder that wherever Caitlin Clark goes, attention follows.
But this time, the timing feels different — and heavier. Clark’s second WNBA season ended early after a groin injury sidelined her on September 4. She played just 13 games for the Indiana Fever, who still managed to claw their way to the playoffs before falling to the powerhouse Las Vegas Aces in the semifinals. It was a bitter end for a player whose relentless drive had defined the franchise’s resurgence.
Now, with her basketball future still under careful watch, Clark’s golf appearance feels both surprising and symbolic — a glimpse of resilience, a soft return to competition, a message that she’s far from finished.
The Annika, one of the LPGA Tour’s final stops before season’s end, suddenly has become a crossover event — where the worlds of golf and basketball collide under the same Florida sky. Fans are expected to line up early, not just to see Sorenstam or Korda, but to watch how a basketball superstar carries her swagger to the fairways.
And maybe that’s the story behind the story — Caitlin Clark isn’t switching sports; she’s reminding the world that greatness doesn’t pause for recovery. Whether it’s a 30-foot jumper or a 300-yard drive, her presence commands attention.
So yes, she’s back — not where anyone expected, but exactly where headlines follow. The Annika Pro-Am is about to feel less like a golf exhibition and more like a cultural moment.
Because when Caitlin Clark shows up, something always happens.
